Knowledge, attitude, and practice of exclusive breastfeeding among post-natal women in Kwara State, Nigeria: a descriptive cross-sectional study
The findings show that nutritional interventions such as ANRiN not only enhance mothers' EBF knowledge and attitudes but also shape distinct predictors of practice compared to non-beneficiaries. Tailored strategies that consider these differential predictors, such as targeting rural, less-educated households for non-beneficiaries and addressing urban-rural disparities among beneficiaries, may strengthen the effectiveness of EBF promotion programs in Nigeria.
